Homeward Bound

My 29th birthday in Gambell!


We are wrapping up the year with our last blog! Since our first blog nine months ago, we have had an incredible experience in bush Alaska. The pictures and videos do not sum up everything we have been through, but its a great start. We were unable to upload ALL the pictures and videos we wanted for our last blog, but these are some of the last few events we experienced in the end of our adventure....
